Endorsement of a YES vote for DPS existence referendum question!

Believing that The McGill Daily and Le Délit are essential, enriching parts of the McGill community, the CKUT Board of Directors endorses a “yes” vote to the DPS existence referendum question in the winter 2013 Referendum.

Whereas McGill does not have a journalism program and The McGill Daily and Le Délit provide a journalistic learning environment, exposure and training for design and publishing software, and an annual journalism week, all of which can lead – and have led – to future employment;

Whereas both papers are supported by a non-opt outable student DPS fee of $6 per undergraduate student per fall and winter term and $3.35 per graduate student per fall and winter term, without which both papers would cease to exist at McGill;

Resolved, that the CKUT Board of Directors endorse a “yes” vote to the DPS existence referendum question in the winter 2013 Referendum.

Resolved, that starting January 21st this endorsement will be posted prominently on the CKUT website during the campaign period from 9am on Jan 18, 2013, until 5pm on Jan 31, 2013.
